  • Miscellaneous Collection of the Terrell Family Records
    MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTION OF THE TERRELL FAMILY RECORDS Publication No. 194 Compiled by Colonel Lynch Moore Terrell Ca 1910-1924 This publication has been retyped from the Original Terrell Book published ca 1910 and apparently represents a compilation of letters and papers accumulated over the years by two brothers and their cousin. They were: General William Henry Harrison Terrell 1827-1884 Indianapolis, Indiana. (His brother). Colonel Lynch Moore Terrell 1834-1924 Atlanta Georgia. Their cousin. Hon. Robert Williams Carroll 1820-1895 Cincinnati, Ohio. It is presumed that the Contents of this Book were assembled by Col. Lynch Moore Terrell some time between 1910 and 1924; after the death of Lynch’s brother and cousin. There are, among many other items, five interesting letters written to and from another cousin, Edwin Terrell 1848-1910 (Ambassador to Belgium 1889-1893), San Antonio, Texas. During this period when Edwin was Ambassador, Edwin became acquainted with Joseph Henry Terrell b 1863, Keswick, England. Joseph published in 1904 the best Tyrrell book on the English Terrells. It appears that Edwin and Joseph exchanged information on Terrell genealogy for both American and English Terrells. Publication No. 194 Published by the Terrell Society of America, Inc.

    07 2007 ANNUAL REPORT NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2007 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. In September 2007, NEH’s We the People program celebrated its fifth anniversary. This year We the People continued to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture through grants supporting hundreds of projects, including traveling library exhibitions on great Americans such as Benjamin Franklin; documentary films; summer workshops for school- teachers; and our annual We the People Bookshelf program for libraries. In 2007 NEH also launched the pilot phase of an exciting new We the People initiative called “Picturing America,” which seeks to put some of our nation’s artistic masterpieces and iconic images in our schools, where they will help students trace our national story and learn about America’s principles. We the People is also ensuring that the “first draft” of our history is widely available. In March, we joined our partners at the Library of Congress to announce the debut of the “Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers” website, featuring more than 226,000 pages of public domain newspapers from six states and the District of Columbia published between 1900 and 1910. Ultimately, the “Chronicling America” website will offer all Americans a free, searchable database of some thirty million pages of historic U.S. newspapers. As NEH worked this year to promote and preserve America’s cultural heritage, we also expanded our efforts to collaborate and exchange new ideas in the humanities with our peers in other nations.

  • Commemorative Program
    A PLACE TO REMEMBER A MESSAGE FROM THE TASK FORCE CHAIR WELLAND CANAL FALLEN WORKERS MEMORIAL The Welland Canal is referred to as an engineering marvel that has stood the test of time. The great link between two Great Lakes was built by men who toiled in extreme conditions to connect Canada and the United States to the growing global economy. The Fallen Workers were fathers, brothers, uncles and friends and now, their efforts will never be forgotten. As Chair of the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial, I would like to acknowledge the many people who have come together to build this important monument. Through the efforts and cooperation of various levels of government, labour, the marine and shipping industry, local media and community, and led by campaign chair Greg Wight, the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial is a testament to the dedication of a small group of people who came together to ensure that those lives lost so long ago, finally received their long overdue memorial. Memory slowly fades with time, but now the Fallen Workers of the Fourth Welland Canal will be remembered for generations to come.

  • November 2016 the Following Is a Compilation of Notes Mayor Mundy
    November 2016 The following is a compilation of notes Mayor Mundy has taken from the Sycamore City Council Meeting Minutes during the period from 1990 through 2009. It took Mayor Mundy several months to review the minutes, make notations, and present what is seen here for your understanding, education, and enjoyment. City Clerk Candy Smith is credited with having the city council minutes available for review as she carefully and accurately records, maintains, and safeguards city records. When there is mention of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance, Annual Tax Levy Ordinance, Treasurer Report, bills approved to pay, or other financial information, it is included here. This is the seventh installment of notes from meeting minutes which began in 1858 and continues 152 years through 2009. A note of interest is that Sycamore never was “flush” with funds to sustain and improve public services but always “made do” with careful, conservative, and controlled spending as opposed to State of Illinois and Federal Budget protocols and operations. So we have traveled 152 years from the beginning noting the first well, paved street, sidewalks, fire company, constable, water standpipe, road grader, and snowplow. Over time homes, businesses, churches, schools, parks, a Carnegie Foundation Library, Eli Barnes’ 12 room rooming house, hotels, theatres, bakeries, museums, many good eateries, county court houses, jails, and hospitals were built and operated by the people of Sycamore. This last 20 years marked historical growth which was managed both by the market and city ordinance. During the middle 2000’s some Sycamore natives, concerned with rapid growth, protested the pace of growth as Sycamore grew from 12,000 in 2000 to 18,000 in 2010.
